After Old Master Wang Chan finished collecting his disciples, the young men dispersed.
It was already morning, almost lunch time.
Su Chen and Xiang Tiange left the private school and walked side by side in the bustling streets with people coming and going.
As teenagers from the same hometown of Chaoge, they are very familiar with each other and have a long history of friendship.
This time, we happened to come to Wendao Private School to study together and became fellow disciples.
"Brother Chen, I see that the painting "Fish Play" you painted is almost the same as the one painted by the old master. There is no difference.
Hum~! The old master must be jealous...that's why he said that you are too crafty and have too little charm!
But no wonder! They say that if you teach the disciples, the master will starve to death!
Master is afraid that he wants to hold back and does not want to teach. "
Xiang Tiange felt very aggrieved by Su Chen and said.
He didn't understand the art of painting, but he just felt that the two ink paintings by Su Chen and Mr. Wang Chan looked exactly the same.
He very much suspected that Mrs. Wang Chan wanted to suppress Su Chen to avoid disobeying discipline in the future.
This is not surprising,
Those who truly teach true skills are usually the secrets passed down from ancestors, or the private schools run by the wealthy families themselves, which only recruit children of their own family.
The public private schools in Luoyi Immortal City usually teach some Taoism and techniques that are relatively popular among various sects. The master often holds back when teaching, and may not teach everyone.
The reason why many people attend public private schools in Luoyi is
The main reason is that most of the private school masters are ministers and officials from vassal states. They have traveled all over the world and have extensive knowledge. They also have extensive connections and disciples in the Daji Immortal Dynasty and other vassal states.
Even if the master is only willing to teach a small part, it will be enough to benefit the disciples a lot.
In addition, there are competitions between fellow students and fellow students. Encouraged by the desire to win, students are more likely to develop their potential for academic advancement.
Studying in an open private school has many benefits.
"Master is willing to let me study in a private school, exempting me from the tuition fee... and also giving me ten taels of black silver to support me! This is enough!"
Su Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head.
He didn't think the master would be so selfish.
The Master said that he was a craftsman, and there was nothing wrong with that.
His own technique is a craftsman's technique - using the talent of [Yueyuan Divine Mirror] to completely and purely reproduce the master's painting skills.
It's like a template carved in stone, completely copied on paper. It's exactly the same as nature, but it also lacks a bit of flexibility.
I still don't fully understand how Master Wang used his brush to draw "Fish Play". After returning home, he still needs to practice it several more times.
Moreover,
Master Wang Chan allowed him to study in a private school, exempted him from the tuition fees, and gave him a monthly allowance of ten taels of silver.
I went to a private school to study as a teacher, so I couldn't ask for more.
...
Su Chen and Xiang Tiange said goodbye at the crossroads of the Gutong Alley, and went home to prepare supplies for studying at private school tomorrow, such as pens, ink, paper and inkstones.
Su Chen passed by Li's Drug Store in Gutong Alley, looked up, and couldn't help but stop in his tracks.
This small medicine shop is not big, it is one foot long and wide inside. The medicine cabinet facing the street contains items such as "hemostatic grass, black yam, elixir fruit, snake blood vine, three-leaf green lotus", etc., which can nourish the body's qi, blood and Spiritual medicinal materials each have different effects.
Herbal medicine packets can be taken internally or boiled. You can buy them at home to cook and make elixirs. They are usually more expensive, with a packet starting at ten taels of silver.
In addition, there are also finished elixir pills that have been refined into small pieces. The pills can be sold individually, which is cheaper.
The cheapest low-level spirit pill, a small pill only costs one or two black silver.
He made some Xuan Yin in the past two days and just had a little spare money.
Then I thought about it and bought some magic pills to reward myself and feed the young golden scales.
"Shopkeeper, what is the price of this low-grade Spirit Snake Blood Teng Pill?"
Su Chen came to the door of the drug store and asked.
The Spirit Snake Blood Vine is a spiritual herbal vine that grows on ancient trees in the mountains. It is named because it looks like a spirit snake clinging to the tree trunk and is as red as blood.
The elixir pills made from it can replenish spiritual energy as well as qi and blood. It is very beneficial for nourishing the body and spiritual practice.
"One tael of black silver and ten copper coins!"
The middle-aged shopkeeper of the drug store sat on a chair inside the counter, glanced at Su Chen, and said lazily.
"The price has increased again?... I came to buy it yesterday. Wasn't it only one tael of silver per grain?"
Su Chen was surprised.
Yesterday, he bought a small bottle of ten Xiaoling Pills for Nangong Bing'er, which was still the price of one tael of silver.
Just one day later, the price has increased by ten coins, which is a full 10% increase. This is a crazy increase!
"Little brother, you don't know this.
A few days ago, a small group of northern Xinjiang barbarian scouts appeared in the Luohe area outside Luoyi City, and they made a big fuss!
Some medicinal fields and manors where wealthy families grew elixirs outside the city were looted by barbarians and even set on fire. Now there is a shortage of elixirs in Luoyi City, and many monks are rushing to stock up.
If it hadn't been for Luoyi Prefecture's repeated orders that the price of the elixir and blood medicine used for cultivation in the city should not increase significantly, I'm afraid the price of these pills would have doubled.
The price of this low-end elixir pill in our Li's Pharmacy has only increased by ten black coppers, which is already considered a reasonable price! "
The middle-aged shopkeeper of Li's Pharmacy glanced at Su Chen and didn't bother to negotiate the price, whether he wanted to buy it or not.
The young man in front of him, from a humble family, looked like he couldn't afford a few magic pills.
There is currently a shortage of goods in Luoyi City, and the elixir pills are the most in-demand goods, so there is no need to worry about selling them.
"Oh~... Shopkeeper, then give me... five pills!"
Su Chen touched the money bag in his arms distressedly, took out five taels of black silver and fifty black copper plates, and lined them up on the counter.
He received ten taels of silver from Old Master Wang Chan, and earned thirty taels of silver from Nangong Bing'er, the girl next door, for running errands. He only had a total of forty taels of silver on hand.
But some money must be set aside to pay the rent of Xiaotuyuan for the next month, which will cost dozens of taels of silver, as well as to purchase firewood, rice and grain, etc.
Su Chen gritted his teeth and bought five Spirit Snake Blood Vine Pills.
I plan to replenish the energy and blood I have lost in practicing "Yin Yang Jue" these days as soon as possible before I can continue practicing.
Moreover, young golden scales must also be eaten. If you don't take elixirs and spiritual objects, it will not increase its level of cultivation, and it will be a waste of extremely rare bones.
...
Su Chen bought five elixir pills at Li's Pharmacy, and returned to his home in Xiaotuyuan on Gutong Lane without continuing to walk on the street.
In the water tank in the woodshed, the young golden scales turned white and sat motionless at the bottom of the tank out of boredom.
This water tank is too small and it can't go anywhere. It's really boring.
suddenly,
When it saw Su Chen coming back, it immediately turned over, widened its spiritual eyes, waggled its fish tail, and looked at Su Chen pitifully.
It's hungry!
From yesterday's winter solstice when Su Chen captured it, until today, it hasn't eaten anything.
If it were in Suoyaojing, it would have eaten several meals of delicious spiritual water grass and delicious spiritual shrimp.
With his mother around, he is pampered and never goes hungry. He has no idea what it feels like to be hungry!
It had only been with Su Chen for two days, and it was already so hungry that its stomach growled.
In the face of a hungry stomach, it can only beg for food from its owner.
"Here~, eat~!"
Seeing the pitiful and hungry look on it, Su Chen couldn't help but feel a little apologetic, and immediately threw a Spirit Snake Blood Vine pill into the water tank.
Young Jin Lin swam in the water tank doubtfully and saw a small pill floating on the water.
Never seen it before!
It clearly felt that this little pill had a bit of fragrance and was full of temptation for it.
However, it was quite resistant to this unfamiliar food. It swallowed the elixir pills, which tasted weird, and did not eat them immediately.
after awhile,
It was so hungry that it couldn't resist the temptation of food after all. It swallowed the pill in one gulp and babbled with its mouth, as if it was still unfinished.
The taste of this elixir pill is okay, fragrant and delicious!
The little golden scale hadn't eaten enough, so it pouted and "chirped, chirped" at Su Chen again.
It was a clear hint to him to feed him quickly!
"Want more?"
Su Chen hesitated for a moment and then took another magical pill.
As a result, Young Golden Scale became addicted to eating it. The more he chewed it, the more delicious it became. He swallowed it in one bite and continued to "squeak, squeak" his mouth towards Su Chen.
not enough!
One more!
How about stuffing the space between its teeth? !
"Not enough?...Does this little guy have such a big appetite?
I remember that for other people’s ordinary spiritual beasts, feeding them at most one spiritual pill a day is more than enough.
This pill has very strong spiritual power, energy, and blood. It takes a long time for the spirit beast to digest it. One pill can even fill the stomach for several days.
Could it be that the higher the spiritual beast's root bone qualification, the more it absorbs, so it eats more at each meal? Three magical pills are not enough to fill the gap between his teeth?
This must be the case, otherwise there is no way to explain why it is such a big foodie! "
Su Chen threw three elixir pills into the water tank, which made him feel so painful.
Seeing that Young Jinlin, a foodie, still dislikes being fed too little, opening her mouth to wait for feeding, she couldn't help but get a headache.
In just one meal, he took three low-level elixirs.
Yesterday, he had imagined that Young Jin Lin, with such a rare talent, would transform into a dragon in the future and easily take his realm to flight!
Better now!
I don’t know how many years it will take for the young golden scale to transform into a dragon. It is estimated that within ten to twenty years, not even a shadow will be seen.
Before I can enjoy the blessing, I will be deprived by it now!
